Considering it was mid October, we got seated quickly and our food came pretty fast. Our waitress was helpful and friendly and the food was really great!

Great local beer offerings and comfortable setting. Blaire was our server and she did a fantastic job filling us in on the new menu items and making wonderful recommendations. This a great place to visit with a group of friends with dining options inside and outside. Cheers!

We stopped for lunch with our kids while visiting Salem. They have great appitizers. Fried pickles are great and the bread knots were great. The buffalo wings were also very good. I enjoyed the beer that I ordered. My wife and kids enjoyed their food as well. Beerworks is walking distance from the House of 7 gables and other popular... More

During a recent visit we stopped at Salem Beer works to relax, try some beer and get a snack. The appetizer options were great and everything we tried we liked. The beer selection was interesting and varied and it was fun to take our out of town guests here to try some beer they haven't tried before. Nice laid back... More

This place LOOKS like a brew pub, I'm not certain it actually is though. Our meals were good, the value ok. Very crowded on Saturday night and quite loud. Has the feel of a chain similar to 99 or the Recovery room(less sports bar-y though). Over all a disappointment.

We nearly passed by this brewery as from the front we couldn't tell if it was open-it looked closed. Because like many things in life, the goodness was on the inside. Yep, walk on in as the seating area and bar is a few steps farther in. What you will find is a great bar with plenty of TV screens... More

We ate here for dinner one night while visiting Salem and loved it! All four of our family members ordered something different off the menu and everyone agreed that the food was excellent. Our waiter was so outgoing and friendly and the service was top notch!

Great place to watch sports. We also fall back on this restaurant to take any picky eaters as it's just traditional American fare. The beers are good and they have seasonal/monthly brews as well. Great for large groups and they have added outdoor seating.
